Hello,

I am trying to understand whether singular or plural ids are best for @list and @set. In the example in the spec, a @list has a singular id:

"nick": [ "joe", "bob", "jaybee" ]

But if we treat the list as a typical JSON array, it would be common to use "nicks" here instead of "nick." 

Unlike the "nick" example, the example for @reverse uses the plural:

  "children": [
    {
      "@id": "#bart",
      "name": "Bart"
    },
    {
      "@id": "#lisa",
      "name": "Lisa"
    }
  ]

Are there any JSON-LD conventions on whether to use singular or plural with @list and @set?

Thanks.
